"McLaren looks set to finish runner-up in the constructors' championship for the second consecutive season and is turning more and more of its attention to next year's car. The team has already said that it wants to adopt an evolutionary approach to its 2012 car and Lowe said Button's feedback is central to that as well as the car for 2014, when the regulations are set for an overhaul."

"The answer is crucial," Lowe responded when asked by ESPNF1 during the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes phone-in how important Button is for development. "Having a good driver with good feedback is essential still in Formula One even though these days we have far more tools to work with and more simulations etcetera. We are still very reliant on the drivers' feedback for the changes and indeed his suggestions for the changes we make.

"Having Jenson on board for years to come is now a great step, because it [provides] a very solid base in terms of a driver that we can rely on for feedback through that phase that you described [up to 2014]. Jenson obviously is very experienced and was for many years before he even came to McLaren, so that all contributes."

Oh Button, Button...

You lot again demonstrating your total lack of understanding. This quote is brought out so many times by clueless Hamilton fans to demonstrate that the car was designed to suit Button.

If you actually read the quote it says nothing like that, what it actually says is that Button provides very good feedback to the engineers that helps them in the design process. If you can't understand the difference, I can't say I'm particularly surprised.

Buttons new comments about his high 13' cars hopes. Quoted as saying 'next years car should suit me a lot better which is very exciting!'.Maybe Hamilton had a contract offer but as the number 2 driver and he knew next years car was being built around Button!?

Jenson said that about this years car...

Sorry to be quoting all of this but essentially, thats how the posts were put up and nobody is again venting on JB. Just that JB's inputs have also been used to develope the previous/this year's cars but he says next year's car will be more suited to his liking. Thats being the talk here.
